<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2490572, member: 19463&quot;]I have two coins both called obols when they appear in polite sales.&nbsp; The first weighs 0.8g while the second weighs 0.6g.&nbsp; The difference between the types is always in that direction.&nbsp; Sometime we see the first called Persic standard but I really do not know what the people in Larissa called their denominations.&nbsp; Collectors tend to force Athenian standards on coins which were not struck with that in mind.&nbsp; We have seen quite a few of the heavier ones recently making me wonder if there was a find which could have contained the Bing bonanza as well.&nbsp; Larissa does not have many boring coins.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]527049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]527050[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
